Karl Case

Karl Case was an economist known for his work on housing markets and consumer behavior. He co-developed the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, a widely used measure that tracks the changes in residential housing prices across major U.S. cities over time. This index helps economists, policymakers, and investors understand housing market trends, assess economic health, and make informed decisions. Case's research highlighted how housing prices fluctuate based on economic factors and market dynamics, providing valuable insights into the real estate sector's role in the broader economy.
